People ask me to do shit and I do it... unless someone asks me to do something else before I'm done.

It's what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.
Markdown files and Logseq https://logseq.com/ as the front end. I've been using Mardown for over 10 years, and it's worked for me. Work uses JIRA, but I keep my own notes and copy in them in as necessary.
I use jira software for task management! Itβs just me on the team, so itβs maybe a bit overkill, but Iβve found scrum / sprints to be massively helpful in prioritizing important work.
It sucks jira is in the cloud, but Iβm yet to find an open source scrum system with the same features. Taiga.io comes close, but i donβt yet have a reason to switch; iβve been using Jira for two years with no issues.
A little notebook I carry around with me
This is me, boss comes in with a new task, I immediately whip out my green notebook and start writing as heβs talking then let him know Iβll get to it when Iβm done with my current task. I use black for writing out the task and subtasks, red for checking items Iβve completed already, slashing through tasks that are no longer required, or writing notes that come up during the task (like ticket numbers). I think Iβm like just below halfway through the notebook I started in February.
Jira and mails marked as unread until i have worked through them haha :)
That's the fun part, I don't!
(okay maybe a little bit of Jira)
I track everything private and professional on Notion.
I have dedicated databases for
- tasks, divided by type (reminders, activities, chores), by domain (job, household, politics, writing etc etc), by client, by status
- calls and meetings I have to set up
- credits and debits I have open
- classes and workshops I'm hosting
I've got various text files in Markdown format.
I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I've bound to a global shortcut, so it's just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.
Why not try Obsidian?
Not a fan of it using Electron and a proprietary license.
But I also actually like this workflow. Being able to note things in my regular text editor with the keybindings I know, is quite important to me.
Well, and an even more personal preference, but my way of using a desktop OS involves a lot of workspaces, so the global shortcut to summon a new editor window on the current workspace actually gets a lot of use.
Jira , mostly. It kind of sucks but it's what we use.
Sublime text for quick notes.
Some people like notion but I often find it redundant with jira, and it's often write-only memory.
Obsidian with tasks and kanban Plugin. Open them side by side
Obsidian with calendar plugin here.
Service Now.
If it's not a ticket it's not a task that needs doing.
Don't complain to me, that is what the company policy says.
We use Asana. At least it's fast and responsive.
In the past I've used Spice, RT, Jira at work. Freshdesk free works for home. Also a simple bullet list in Google docs.
A personal wiki or a text file, depending on the place. Would be nice to have some compact non invasive ticket system, but I've never seen one.
I've used literal card decks and GTDish pen and paper systems when there was more demanding need on tracking things. They're effective.
I use an ipad at work and use ajournal to write down my schedule for each day. I like that it pulls in my outlook items and that is easy to edit- write, erase, drag to another day. I don't like that it's not backed up anywhere so when i lost my iPad anything not done/documented is lost forever. When i get super freaked out about that i take a screenshot.
Standard notes? They got bought out by proton
Outlook. It's obviously shit but it notifies me of stuff which is all I need.
Post-Its and flagged Slack messages if I ever remember to check those
wekan
My system is people asking me when stuff will be done
Pen and paper lol
Microsoft ToDo. It works well with the GTD method.
If you're a terminal weirdo like me I'd recommend Taskwarrior
